TESLA QUIETLY REVEALED A MASSIVE AI INFRASTRUCTURE PLAY.
Tesla filed a trademark application for "MEGAPOD", signaling plans to turn its Supercharger network into a massive distributed AI computing platform.
The USPTO filing describes MEGAPOD as - "Modular data center hardware systems for artificial intelligence computing, comprised of computer servers, computer hardware for artificial intelligence."
The wording suggests Tesla is developing self-contained, scalable AI server modules that can be deployed across thousands of locations rather than building only centralized data centers.
This will act like a modular unit combining AI compute hardware with Tesla energy systems (Megapack, Powerwall, Superchargers) to act as a single node for power management and AI workloads.
The filing follows Musk's March comments about turning Tesla's 7 GW Supercharger network into one of the world's largest distributed AI compute platforms.
If realized, Tesla's 'MEGAPOD' Could Turn Superchargers Into AI Data Centers.
Now that I’m out of government, I can finally respond for myself: Get bent, soyboy. We didn’t do this for “Silicon Valley . . . companies.” We did this for you, for your family, your community, your state, your nation, and your species.
Nuclear energy provides the safest, highest density, reliable power available on our planet. My career colleagues at DOE and NRC inspired me to think about nuclear as a way to forge American steel and electrolyze aluminum without releasing particulate matter, to desalinate water in the Middle East and save humanity from resource wars. By rejecting the false narratives and Cold War hysteria, we can secure the next American century while raising whole countries out of poverty.
Do you really think I left an incredible career at Kirkland, paid out of pocket for an apartment in DC and dozens of cross-country trips, and left my family on the west coast because I wanted to enrich people I never met before taking this job? I came to D.C. to do something that mattered, to satisfy a driving curiosity (more on that later), and, most importantly, to serve.
As I learned more about nuclear energy and its history, I developed a conviction that one nuclear’s biggest issues was a culture of cynicism: nothing new or exciting could happen because it would end in disappointment, and that militated against rocking the boat even a tiny bit. The career staff in government and their industry counterparts lived through dark winters before and stopped believing that warm springs could bloom into summers.
I have two core philosophies. First, I believe in ruthless optimism. Rational decision making requires detached risk analysis. But we also cannot win if we believe we can lose. Merging the two requires orienting teams around driving missions. That way, when a real opportunity presents itself, you can take a huge swing.
If I take credit for anything—honestly, almost all of the success belongs to the incredible and dedicated people at @ENERGY and @NRCgov—it’s countering the cultural rot and morass that risked forfeiting American excellence. My colleagues and I gave cover to the scientists and engineers, which freed them up to focus on delivering safe power. And, as success materialized, they started to dream again. That’s why the pilot program succeeded, and why I feel confident about the future of NLICs and NRC reform. Nobody needs me anymore because they can innovate on their own.
My second core philosophy is to assume positive intent. Avi, I know that you heard about my real motivations from multiple people you interviewed when preparing your hit piece on me. Rather than telling that story, one which could help inspire another generation of people to use their talents for the greater good, you ignored them. Instead, you implied that Peter Thiel recruited me for nefarious purposes. (I’ve never met him, but, @peterthiel, if you’re reading this, I’m a huge fan!)
Nuclear regulation starts and ends with safety. I promised everyone I worked with that I would resign before doing or pushing for anything that could compromise public safety. But I also distinguished between real safety and performative bullshit. That’s what the careers came to embrace, too. We love nuclear, why would we do anything that could risk threatening its future?
America faces a crossroads. We can either trod a road of cultural decay or hike our way back to the peak of global innovation. Join me on the latter path. Correct the fear mongering and conspiracies and tell the story of America’s great reindustrialization. Tell the story of our public servants, our great entrepreneurs, our scientific dominance. Tell the real story about how DOGE went nuclear.
Brushing with baking soda removes dental plaques, often by ~85%, according to a meta analysis.
A more recent study showed that baking soda outperformed conventional fluoride toothpaste for plaques and gingivitis.
Potentially by:
1. Physical displacement of plaques
2. Reducing viscosity of plaque matrix
3. Improving plaque penetration by the brush
4. Antimicrobial effects
This paper was published last year, comparing:
➥ A baking soda toothpaste with some (0.31%) fluoride
to
➥ A high fluoride (0.73%) toothpaste
People in the study had confirmed plaque + gingivitis.
1 minute of brushing, twice daily.
Within 3 weeks, baking soda reduced the number of bleeding sites by 2.4.
The high fluoride toothpaste increased the number of bleeding lesions.
In 3 months, baking soda reduced them by over 4.
fluoride increased them by >2.
The bleeding index only decreased with baking soda.
Baking soda also reduced gum inflammation.
Both products had an effect, but at every time point, baking soda was superior.
Baking soda reduced dental plaques, too.
Once again it outperformed the conventional high fluoride toothpaste.
It's important to note that not only does baking soda outperform fluoride in these studies, it's much safer, considering fluoride is a toxin.

Whether you like it or not the next step in the teleology of ‘progressive politics’ is retarded, childless, over-credentialed communists in their mid 30s who can’t pay their rent demanding that rapists and murderers never go to prison.
Tributyrin seems to be the real deal, particularly as it relates to my biochemistry. I ordered a placeholder while waiting for Essential Microbiome to arrive, and I've woken up noticeably more well-rested the past three days. Even though I've been getting high sleep scores as of recently, it didn't exactly translate to feeling well-rested. Not the case anymore.
Another note: I think people in general assume they're paying a premium for Blueprint products, which isn't true. If you tried assembling this protocol together yourself with the separate ingredients, you'd actually pay more. They've created a fantastic delivery mechanism for those paying attention.
Healthy gut, happy life.
We launched something new today for a healthy microbiome.
It's built around Akkermansia muciniphila, a keystone bacterium that decreases with age. The less of it you have, the worse your metabolic health tends to look.
Akkermansia is one of the most interesting organisms in microbiome research.
Why it matters
+ strengthens gut barrier integrity
+ is associated with glucose regulation, insulin sensitivity, and metabolic health
+ contains Amuc_1100, a surface protein studied for TLR2 signaling and gut barrier function
We paired Akkermansia with butyrate triglycerides, a butyrate precursor that supports the gut lining directly, instead of relying on fiber fermentation to produce butyrate.
Akkermansia for microbial signaling.
Butyrate for epithelial support.
A capsule within a liquid capsule to make it possible.
I take one capsule daily. You can get yours at Blueprint Bryan Johnson.
The Brits are too polite. Aristocratic manners captured the middle class, and made them both snooty and passive
America has some similar dynamics but not as strong.
Even still, people forget how much Trump shattered what you could and couldn't say in this country, and how hard that path was in the early years
Until you destroy the value of propriety you cannot address the evil schemes of those who are hiding behind it
